That's 10x the largest Kickstarter to date, so might be a bit unrealistic, especially considering that what you are proposing isn't an end-user product.

How many boards+chips do you think such a Kickstarter campaign would sell, and at what price point?

Where is the difference? Businesses charge more than what their costs are, the rest is their profit. Beggars request more than what they deliver, everything is their profit. Still beggars seem to succeed worse. I have no problem with that, but there is no reason to "declare" their business model illegal.

If you buy an Apple product you bought a status symbol. If you give to a beggar you bought a warm feeling, that it did not harm you and helped them.

Disclaimer: I have never bought an Apple product. I hardly ever give money to beggars. But I do give them food if I happen to carry some. Which could be my supremacy that I don't want the to spend my money on alcohol.

I didn't say that there was a scriptural basis for racism:

"the cultural values transmitted are often not only at odds with scripture, but just repulsive in general."

>Maybe it’s adherents should be a little circumspect before calling other attitudes “repulsive.”

Which of the values I criticized as repulsive do you think I should be more circumspect about? Racism? Homophobia? Misogyny?

>I will point out that the western world is almost entirely dependent on immigrants from societies that have traditional religious views on these issues for their population stability. Western social liberalism has many positive attributes, but it hasn’t proven to be self-perpetuating.

It could be done, but first-party cookies aren't really the issue. Most browsers have the option to disable third-party cookies, but many ad-supported sites throw a fit if you browse them that way. I think the goal is to introduce some alternative, then switch blocking third-party cookies to a default. Finally cookies could be a first-party only solution.

They were using autogenous pressurization for SN8, and that's what failed with the header tanks on landing.

I come from a German town with ~25.000 People, far away from any major city and there definitely are homeless people. It's not a lot in comparison to big cities like Berlin, but they do exist.
In my experience it is the other way around.

Big name websites generally have enough users that email "just works". Smaller websites are more likely to use misguided measures such as a bad email validating regex (hello to anyone with a non-standard TLD!), only allowing gmail, or blacklisting domains like these.
So, either News Corp gets $$$ from FB and Google, or they pull out of Australia and people have to go directly to them for news.

Fantastic, a win win situation for everyone's least favourite company. And the protagonists are shit as well.
The point is its easy to fix homelessness when land is cheap and building materials are cheap. It doesn't really help our problems in big American cities.
The more I grow into senior engineer / more leadership positions, the more and more my sales training from my youth comes in handy.

Every meeting you have with people has a goal (otherwise, you wouldn't meet with them to begin with!!). Maybe the goal is to gather requirements, or maybe the goal is to convince them to do something for you. The latter is 100% sales. None of us exist within a vacuum, we rely upon APIs or libraries or frameworks to do things. And if these APIs / libraries / frameworks are company / organization specific, you'll need to convince their lead engineer that your change is worthwhile to adapt.
I’m actually pretty convinced that this isn’t something new. Consider all the people

The old wisdom about people being like border collies who go crazy without a job got repeated until it was cliché for a reason. And sure, the article acknowledges that people need work to live balanced, happy lives. But I think it’s long gone further than that, and people have essentially always identified with their “useful function.”
One thing to note about courier wages/payments. In Finland wolt started initally with more generous payments to the couriers and then gradually started to bring them down.
This approach doesn't seem to consider evidence.

For reasonable dialogue, various sides have to come to an agreement of shared evidence. In this case, there is no listing of evidence, hence those involved still talk past each other because it does not build a shared understanding.

There is also the burden of evidence. Those making unsubstantiated claims often do so quite freely without much effort; this often incorrectly places the burden on those to disprove sometimes extraordinary claims. Moreover, in these cases, reporting circumstantial evidence that shows the underlying claim is highly unlikely can have the opposite of the intended effect.
Realistic Productivity
I've always been extremely annoyed by these attempts to "detect fake email addresses/accounts".

People can have more than one email address, so if your goal is "one account/offer/trial membership per real person", email ain't the way to achieve that, period.

Even worse are sites that disallow registering via "freemail providers" and require you to "use your ISPs or employer's". (Haven't seen this one in a while, but it definitely used to be a thing.)

That's true, though IIRC there happened to be an extra pilot in the cockpit that identified the issue.

Obviously, that is not something one should rely on.

Furthermore, pinpointing the issue is not trivial. The crew had a whole slew of EICAS messages and callouts to handle. Clearly, the fact that another machine came down even after this accident chain and the Emergency AD was publicised shows that the "revert trim to neutral and activate the stab trim cutout" checklist items were insufficient.
Surely the UK can only regulate Mastercard's fees to businesses within the UK? I guess they could ban UK consumers from buying from stores outside the UK that use Mastercard, maybe? Other than threatening to do that, how can they regulate what Mastercard charge businesses outside the UK?

Worth noting that this looks like total comp. Which is fine, but the implication of course is that a good percentage of the comp comes from stock, which is a bit easier to manage as a form of payment than actual dollars.

People who can read this find it readable.

I think it's a mistake to think that because you can't read the code, that it is the code that is somehow unreadable, instead of a language you simply haven't learned to read.

> I don’t know how a project is managed like this.

It's not dissimilar to working with any proprietary programming language: You have to learn how to read and write this language.

The fact that we can use an existing language's compiler can be confusing to people who don't know that language very well, but if you approach it from the perspective of a new (proprietary) language, using an existing language's compiler can be a great way to leverage the benefits of that existing language.

I did the math on this once out of curiosity. If we launch lots of bits of thin, reflective mylar film to the L2 Lagrange point with the sun, it will reflect incoming light and lower the Earth's insolation. About $200 billion worth of Falcon Heavy launches, all carrying mylar film to L2, would be sufficient to lower insolation by 1/20th of a percent, which would indeed halt global warming.

Obviously this would have tons of other consequences for the planet, and doesn't account for solar wind pushing the mylar out of position, etc.
They did not find a replacement to cookies. Cookies have become too toxic and are harming them and so they found a way to not store anything on the device and yet be able to target users. This means it will be impossible to stop them from profiling and targeting users as users don’t control anything.

They are using privacy preserving techniques, and even if we assume they are doing it well, it just means that we will never get rid of the profiling and paying to get privacy will not happen with google services
I wonder why all of these associations go against apple, when most android phones stop getting updates much earlier than any iPhone or other Apple device.
There's already a more practical way of accomplishing what you're suggesting:

b) may encourage "business as usual",

> It seems to me there is a fundamental conflict between good targeted ads and protection of privacy.

True, but it is too much to ask Google to throw "the baby out with the bath water", as it were. For all their faults, I am encouraged that Android and Chrome, if no other product team at Google, is pioneering Federated Learning [0], Differential Privacy [1], and now are pushing ahead with Privacy Sandbox [2]. I wholeheartedly agree it simply isn't enough, but it is substantially better than what's in-use right now.

Like everyone else though, I am worried for the same reason I dislike AMP (accelerated mobile pages) despite it bringing noticeably better user-experience for many: Google has this nasty tendency to make things seem more "open", "benevolent", and "private" than they really are.

The overwhelming majority of alcoholics do not do this.
This mainly looks like a push to remove even more user control over tracking. The spec says that the browser can return 'random' data, but I suspect that Chrome won't let you do that, or at least not for long.

Instead of the user disabling third-party cookies, every single page author would have to set a new HTTP header to have their page excluded from the machine learning.

It also looks like a massive GDPR pitfall.
Say you track conversions to a campaign, and track what "cohorts" a user entered your sales pipeline through. The moment you connect this data to the customer, it's personal data IMHO. If you operate in Europe, the user should be able to retrieve/delete the data, and request it changed if they say it's wrong.
Apple has planned obsolescence? I’m amazed that I got a software update for my iPhone 6S last year. And it worked pretty well. So well that when I upgraded and the trade in value was $100, rather than the $200 I had expected, it gave me pause and I decided the device was still worth $100 to me, and kept it. My daughter sometimes watches Cocomelon or does Khan Academy Kids with it, on the original battery.

What exactly is Italy expecting from Apple here? The device doesn’t stop working, or anything like that.

+1, and ironically I remember seeing both "must use Gmail" and "must not use Gmail" in the past...

The only correct to validate email addresses is to just send a message there and see if the user can click the confirmation link.

Chances are that would be the next step in any signup flow anyway, so why introduce this artificial middle step of "validating the email address"?
One possibility is that it will never happen and we’re doomed. Unfortunately, a lot of people believe that.

But how does Tesla sell its cars for double the price of comparable gas-powered autos? How does Whole Foods sell people on $6 tomatoes?

Both of those represent a choice to consume less, since inherently if you spend more money on something than you have to, then you have less money with which to consume other things.

Yet nobody buying Whole Foods thinks they are “decreasing their standard of living.” Its the opposite!

So the very first thing, if you want to pursue change, is get this idea of “standard of living” out of your head. Think of lifestyle instead.

Can you sell people on an alternative lifestyle that results in less consumption? YES. This happens all around us all the time.

It doesn’t even have to be glamorous. During the world wars, gas was rationed and slops were collected for pigs... people bought war bonds, etc.

Free people can and do rise to meet collective challenges when they are well-led.

Right now it’s very hard to argue the west (as a whole) is well-led.

But things can change. There is a recipe that has a better chance of success, and historical precedent. So don’t give up hope.

If you want to do large scale construction in space you need to get material from outside of a gravity well.
> Why did they become homeless in first place?

I think you are vastly underestimating how easy it is to go from poor to homeless. There was a ~3 year period of my life where all it would have taken is one bad month. Just one. And it wasn't for lack of trying, or because of laziness or mental illness. Just real bad luck and starting out in a not-great place within a not-great system.

Homelessness is a hole that is easy to fall into and damn hard to crawl out of, and not to be insensitive but the assumptions you're making are part of the problem.

When you assume that homelessness is fundamentally caused by a fault in the person, that person is basically dammed to stay homeless. The things you say here are the same reasons people give to not hire a homeless person. "They must either be crazy or lazy, neither of which is an employee I want".

That's not to mention the fact that there are a surprising number of homeless people that do have jobs, but just don't make enough money to save up to get anything better (which, yes, is a failing of the system). Most people don't realize this if they haven't lived it, but being poor is very expensive.

> He basically gave up on the system and finds it easier to just let family support him.

Some people don't have a family that could support another person.
ah gotcha, thanks!
Part of this is about the middle men. The NY Times cut off ad exchanges in EU and found it didn't kill their ad business [1]. One thing it did do was cut out the middle companies doing the brokering. Google has made A LOT of money just being a middle company. Like a car dealership.

The proposed system deals with large groups and machine learning. It requires a browser ad on or changes to the browser. This is not approachable for startups, small businesses, or those who are independent. It's targeted at Google and further helps solidify their position.

As people want to cut Google off from constantly monitoring them they are looking for ways to work around being cut off to keep the data flowing. Branding and marketing their work to make people want it.
